NOTICE OF AN ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT PROCESS

DEVELOPMENT OF THE MUTSHO POWER PROJECT AND ASSOCIATED INFRASTRUCTURE NEAR MAKHADO (LOUIS TRICHARDT) LIMPOPO PROVINCE

Project Name: Mutsho Power Project

Applicant: Mutsho Power (Pty) Ltd

Proposed Activity: The construction, and operation of a new 600MW baseload coal-fired power station and associated infrastructure, including:

» Power generation units utilising Pulverised Coal (PC) (with Flue Gas Desulphurisation (FGD)), or Circulating Fluidised Bed (CFB) boiler technology. » Dry cooling methods. » Dry ash disposal. » Coal to be sourced from the Makhado Colliery, to be developed approximately 20km south-east of the project site and transported to site either via a new 22km rail loop, proposed for development between Makhado Mine and the existing Huntleigh railway siding, or via road transport.

Project Location: Two properties have been identified for the development of the proposed project:

» Remainder of the Farm Du Toit No. 563 » Remainder of the Farm Vrienden No. 589

The possibility exists that the proposed project may be developed in its entirety on either of the abovementioned properties, or alternatively portions of the project may be developed on both. The properties are approximately 7km south-west of Mopane and approximately 20km north-west of the Makhado Colliery, in the Musina Local Municipality, of Vhembe District, Limpopo Province.

Application for Environmental Authorisation: An Integrated Application for Environmental Authorisation (EA) in terms of the National Environmental Management Act (No. 107 of 1998) (NEMA) and a Waste Management License (WML) in terms of the National Environmental Management: Waste Act (No. 59 of 2009) is being undertaken for the project. A full Scoping and Environmental Impact Assessment (S&EIA) process is required in support of this application process. The S&EIA process will support future applications for an Atmospheric Emission License (AEL) in terms of the National Environmental Management: Air Quality Act (No. 39 of 2004) (NEM:AQA), and Water Use License (WUL) in terms of the National Water Act (No. 36 of 1998) (NWA).

Public Involvement Process: Savannah Environmental (Pty) Ltd is undertaking the EIA, WML, and Public Participation processes.

Zwitenwa zwo themendelwaho: U fhata na u shumiswa ha tshititshi tsha mudagasi wa malasha wa 600MW na zwinwe zwifhato, zwikatelaho na zwitevhelaho:

» U bveledza mudagasi hu tshi khou shumiswa thekhinolodzhi ya Pulverised Coal (PC) kana Circulating Fluidised Bed (CFB). » Dry cooling methods. » U latiwa ha milora yo omaho » Malasha ado waniwa mugodini wa Makhado Colliery, une wa do bveledziswa khilomithara dzi ṱoḓaho u vha 20 tshipembe-vhubvaḓuvha. Malasha a ḓo endedzwa kha saiti hu tshi shumiswa tshidimela tshiswa tsha khilomithara dza 22, tsho themendelwaho uri tshi bveledzwe vhukati ha Mugodi wa Malasha wa Makhado na tshiporo tsha tshidimela tshi re hone tsha Huntleigh, kana hu tshi shumiswa zwiendadzi zwa dzibada.

Vhupo ha thandela: Huna bulasi mbili dzo vheiwaho ito u bveledzisa thandela heyi khadzo:

» Bulasi ino pfi Du Toit No. 563 » Bulasi ino pfi Vrienden No. 589

Hu na khonadzeo ya uri Thandela yo themendelwaho i nga bveledzwa yoṱhe kha iṅwe ya dzibulasi zwo dzo bulwaho afho nṱha, kana zwipiḓa zwa Thandela zwa bveledzwa khadzo nga mbili.
